Maybe, but Google in trying to stamp out seo spam just gravitates now to a few big company websites and shows them first because it no longer matters. Google is actively now trying to not even show you the organic results.

Even better for Google the worse the organic results are the more you need to rely on ads or some sort of ai snippet.
That is not the point at all and you either didn’t try to understand one iota of it or are outright arguing in bad faith.

I am not claiming for one moment that enabling this by default is OK. In fact, I have explicitly said it is not.

What I am saying is that it is ignorant to call this a cover up, because a cover up requires subterfuge. This feature has a freaking settings toggle and public documentation. Calling it a cover up is the type of uneducated rhetoric that makes these issues being brushed off by those in power as “it’s just a bunch of loonies conspiracy theorists complaining”.
Where else but in MUBI can you discover the works of Andrea Arnold and her most recent film, Bird? The same goes for countless other directors whose oeuvre was unknown to me, someone who was introduced by my Father to Bergman and Kurosawa when I was barely seven.

There is also The Criterion Channel where I saw La Jetée for the first time after years of reluctance to immerse myself in a film essentially made of still photos. I have now gone back and watched it three more times, both in French and English. That’s how large of an impact it’s had on me. And I originally meant to get through it quickly (28 minutes duration), in preparation to rewatch 12 Monkeys.

Netflix does show some films that cater to a non mainstream audience, but may take more effort to find them. I recently saw Aftersun directed by Charlotte Wells, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. You will sob quietly.
I clarified bit more on the article regarding this. But basically "Well this may not directly provide benefit but because this is a consumer grade card these features enabled having support for more advanced features such as bfloat16 and event float8 training support also the sheer number of cuda cores."
My thought is that the US has no economic safety net, so therefore, if one calculates poorly or has misfortune, not having enough money is detrimental. So risk-averse people will try to over-save. There is no security.
The point of a defence pact is not to wage war, but to avoid it.

The US being a part of NATO does not mean all actions the US takes are on behalf of NATO.
It is co-authored by AI but I left it because it made some indirect sense. I clarified on the parent comment
I don't think the concept here is blindly taking the output of the LLM and calling it a day. One can test, the test.
To your credit, it wouldn't be the first time TC did a pay-for-play.

Also, TC has been beyond irrelevant for years.

Now, it's even worse. It's a negative-signal attached to all those desperate enough to use it.
This is still a very dishonest representation of what’s actually happening.
That's also a clearly flawed analysis, because the numbers mostly don't change between re-computations of the spreadsheet cell values!

E.g.: Adding a row doesn't invalidate calculations for previous rows in typical spreadsheet usage. The bug is deterministic, so repeating successful calculations over and over with the same numbers won't ever trigger the bug.
The third choice, after opt-in and opt-out is to force the user to choose on upgrade before they can use their device again. "Can we use an encrypted, low-resolution copy of your photos that even we ourselves can't see?"
I can imagine how this went:

- We have this protocol to switch the streetlights remotely by modulating a signal on the main - but that's needing expensive hardware and it's cumbersome. Can't we just sent that over radio instead?

- There is all this decentralized renewable energy generation, we need a way to switch that off remotely if there is an overload in the grid - hey, we already have that hardware for swtiching streetlamps, let's just use that!

Of course encrption was never a concern and now anyone could remotely turn off / on power generation. But for that to cause real trouble, you'd need coordinated action that would require something like a state level actor.

I think people see networking as some skeevy thing, but what your describe is what actual networking looks like:

1. Contribute your time generously to a software community

2. Get to know the people and help them

3. Most people have a bias towards reciprocity, want to help you!

Bonus: do this before you need a job, but while you’re employed.
I agree I think a lot of people do tend to go overboard with the plugins they add to Neovim. I only use a hand-full of plugins myself; Telescope for fuzzy finding, LSP for navigation and Rainbow-delimiters. I've found attempting to add anything "un-neovim-like" such as tabs or a debugger to be more of a hassle and jankier than just using something better suited to that task.

I actually think the best way to learn Neovim is to build your own configuration with as little plugins as necessary for you to get the job done because it'll force you to learn the Neovim way of doing things. For example instead of relying on tabs I learnt to use the Mark system and it was a great addition to my workflow.

Bingo! This is the right answer. It always comes down to how long will the code exist and do you need to be able to sustain high velocity over a long period of time.

If you don't need to keep it very long, then hack the hell out of it. If you are in a startup, hack it.. you don't even know if you have product market fit. If you are in an enterprise and your team is responsible for some aspect of the company.. keep it clean and move fast. As soon as you start snowballing hidden complexity via hacks.. it becomes a tar pit.
Yes, it’s a major component at least. I’ve wondered if there should be protections against this to maintain some baseline of safety for people’s workloads, but that would never fly in North America as far as I can tell. And it could actually harm some people who legitimately need to work overtime to take care of their families.
Left, right, does such a dichotomy even matter?

An influential person admitted that he had interfered the development of the high-speed railway at US with a vaporware project, which reported to him juicy economic revenues generated by investments and subsidies from all over the world. Just with vaporware.

Should people think that this kind of interference does not happen with influential pockets because you call it a conspiracy, while they call it just business?

For the ranking order. The post itself will still get greyed out, or flagged after enough downvotes.
No. That’s your bias as a nerd. There are countless well-publicised examples of ‘many eyeballs’ not being remotely as effective as nerds make it out to be.

The feature is enabled by default. That’s the only reason we’re having this discussion at all.
I'm saying that the bulk of the community that keeps it alive and growing are either not SW professionals, or are but their use of Emacs goes well beyond SW use. As such, even if they "switch" to a tool like VSCode, they'll still primarily use Emacs for most things (email, document authoring, TODOs, etc). And Emacs as a SW will continue to grow as a result.

A significant portion of the Emacs "influencers" are not SW developers (think Protesilaos). Quite a few very popular Emacs packages are made by non-SW folks.

Which, as I pointed out, is why most of the talks are not related to SW development. Because that's not why the power users use Emacs.

In my (large) company, the bulk of Emacs users I've met use it for SW development, and little else. As such, while they may be really good users for the SW development they do, they tend to be fairly ignorant about the rest of Emacs (not heard of org mode or magit, some even think XEmacs is the improved Emacs, etc). Globally, such folks may well be in the majority, and if the bulk of them stop using Emacs, no one would even notice.

In fact, as someone who's been using Emacs since before VSCode existed, I simply did not notice the (real) exodus to VSCode. If you follow only the Emacs ecosystem (Emacs reddit, blogs, social media), the online engagement has exploded in the last 15 years. You would never guess that Emacs may have lost users overall (if it did).
I think the author dismissed that too casually. Anything that makes the three less valuable will result in less space around the hoop. That's not necessarily a bad thing if we want to reemphasize the mid-range shot. The only way to tilt the game back that way is to change the math on the current dunks/layups & threes meta.

If every app and system is making network connections by default without the user's knowledge or intervention then it doesn't really prove that you are using the computer at all.
Interesting. The correlation is not 100% according to the study, but it does seem to be related, somehow. Strangely, I've read for a while ~40% of the population has audio recall/echoic recall, which doesn't seem to match up with this latest study. I think it's maybe hard to study this stuff because of the nature of what is being discussed. Many times I've asked someone who seems to be an aphant, that they report they can "see" something in mind, simply because they think that's how it's referred to with words. In reality, aphants simply don't see anything at all, but know what it looks like. So then later an aphant will admit they don't actually create and see the image in mind. At least, that's how I put it. And I don't do audio recall either.

USB-C is a horrible standard to consolidate on because of all the confusion about various sorts of USB-C cables (with exactly the same physical connectors) and thunderbolt cables.

Similarly, I’m glad Tesla convinced all the other American manufacturers to go with NACS for the American market because the CCS plugs are monstrosities.
With so many comments on the state of the job market, I'm surprised to not see even one mention of career fairs. It's quite common for universities to host these and while they have their own set of disadvantages, it seems they could also provide a lot of value in the current market. The physical presence would ensure that it's a real person and it makes cheating significantly harder. Deciding a time and place would allow lots of companies and applicants to meet within a few day period so it would be pretty efficient. A larger sized fair might last for a week or two and most companies would stay the entire time while applicants would just buy a one or two day pass. They could potentially even do in person interviews within the same period which would further save on hiring costs. Have a few of these in each region per year, it seems like it would be doable, it's just a matter of getting everyone on board (of course, easier said than done).

You could maybe even use the fair as a screening to give applicants a boost in future online applications - if they seem like a good applicant after talking in person but perhaps not the exact fit needed for current open positions, just flag their career account internally as a verified high quality applicant.

Short of career fairs, verifying identity and employment history might be valuable and it seems like LinkedIn or some competitor should be able to do this. If a company can verify itself through a reliable process and then publicly mark accounts of employees who have been employed there for whatever duration, that seems like a low hanging fruit. In fact it sounds so obvious that maybe there's a reason they haven't done this yet? Any reason someone could think of for why this isn't already happening?
You literally can choose your own photo software. You don't have to use Photos at all. Just get another app.
Yeah this basically negates a lot of the advantages of a unique id IMO:
- scaling ID generation for a distributed system and avoiding a synchronization point
- optimistic locking and idempotency keys
See also, "Blueberry Earth" https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.10553

This paper explores the physics of the what-if question "what if the entire Earth was instantaneously replaced with an equal volume of closely packed, but uncompressed blueberries?" While the assumption may be absurd, the consequences can be explored rigorously using elementary physics. The result is not entirely dissimilar to a small ocean-world exoplanet.
Do you mind sharing what you think are the killer features of fish?
It’s odd to me how upset people get about this.
Historic buildings seem very ledger-esque as changes and previous states get documented well and any modification isn’t truly erasing history but just appending to it.
I doubt historians will have much trouble with some additions from our time. In any case, they would be a new historic artifact.
Oh geez, I see my math mistake. But even at $5k/mo, the point still stands.

When billions - perhaps trillions - of dollars are on the line, CEOs and their associates will stop at nothing to get that money. They're surely not going to let the life of a single person stand in their way.

Look at what the eBay CEO did to someone simply criticizing them.
It's strange how the article starts off complaining about C++'s platform "issues":

> We’ve experienced some pain with C++. In short:

> tools and compiler/platform differences

before conceding that, because of Rust, they 1) are actually dropping support for a platform they previously supported and 2) can only support (in theory) a small fraction of those platforms supported by g++, but that that's OK because those are the only platforms which really matter. I get that it's a trade-off, but it would have been more intellectually honest to just admit this is one area (portability, backwards compatibility, and ABI stability) where C++ mops the floor with Rust, instead of pretending it's a another paintpoint Rust avoids.
Generally speaking, I think it would. I’m open to being wrong. I think there is a non-trivial amount of hype around O3, and while it would certainly be interesting if it was cheap, I don’t think it would address important issues that AI currently doesn’t seem to even begin to accommodate in its current capacity to recognize or utilize contexts.

For example, I have little to no expectation that it will handle software architecture well. Especially refactoring legacy code, where two enormous contexts need to be held in mind at once.
Kingston doesn't seem to offer any support for Linux, so their new firmware is virtually non-existent to me. Why can't I just download the firmware and use standard nvme-cli tools to update the SSD, beats me. If Seagate (which by the way uses Phison E18 too) can do it, so can Kingston, Samsung, Crucial, Western Digital and many others.

Even better would be use Linux Vendor Firmware Service (https://fwupd.org/).
I think we're agreeing more than we might think, for (entertaining > threshold and accurate > threshold) is what's left after applying Sturgeon's Law to (entertaining or accurate > threshold).

[also, I may be overly cynical, but I think making an argument already puts us well over on the accuracy side — you and I might enjoy that sort of thing, but in the grand scheme of things I see arguments as being only slightly more popular than the My Dinner With André video game adaptation]

Lightning was a superior plug to USB-C and I, for one, am annoyed that Apple is dropping it.
What would good tenure ranges look like to you? I feel 3 is the magic number, and 7 is too long (dep. on many factors of course) but feel this is under discussed.

Personally id have questions about anything sub 2, but seeing 2 or more 3s would be enough for me to ignore a short stint or two.
Got to feed their piss poor "Apple Intelligence", somehow.
Waiving penalties depending on the circumstance is interesting but not directly relevant to the question on hand. You would have already been found to have evaded taxes before the penalty could be assessed. So the circumstance/motivation/explanation is still not the differentiator between avoidance and evasion in this case - just the penalty.
True!

Bluesky puts the algos and moderation in the users hands, giving everyone their own choice rather than a one-size fits all approach. They have built real competition on a social media fabric into the ATProtocol, meaning users have a very low to non-existent switching cost.

I agree. I have decided to just never buy another thing that cannot be powered by Type C or C13/14. Maybe exceptions for PoE, I guess, if I had to use an ethernet cable on it anyway.
It highly depends on what kind of job you want. What kind of company do you want to work for?
Netflix being unable to know your watch history on their service is exactly the goal of homomorphic encryption. The technology to make that work at that scale does not exist, however for smaller bits of data, eg phone numbers, that's entirely possible!

With PIR, an Apple phone recieving a phone call queries Apple's database with that phone number, but because it's using homomorphic encryption, Apple doesn't know the number that called despite looking it up in their database to provide caller id info, so they can't tie your phone number and the callers phone number together.

Yes, the book "Inside Intel" makes the same argument about spreadsheets (p364). My opinion is that Intel's analysis is mostly objective, while IBM's analysis is kind of a scam.
> It isn't up to the US, Europe or anyone else to decide on Africa's behalf who they should ally with or whose investments they should accept.

No one is claiming it is up to them. I talked about the present situation being a risk and suggested they try to change it. You’re arguing against a strawman.

> We're interested in colonizing, exploiting and undermining them in exactly the way we have for centuries, in tapping into another pool of resources and cheap labor.

This just seems like such an extreme and cynical claim, that I can only say that it is disconnected from reality. Sure colonization by western powers was terrible and a major crime against Africans. But that’s not the agenda of today’s people. And yes the West has an interest in spreading its foundational values like the idea of free societies. There have literally been wars over that.

> What is the US doing other than funding the dictators who work child slaves to death in the rare earth mines that feed our tech industry?

This makes it pretty obvious you have a bias against the US and perhaps a bias in favor of China. First off China is the world’s biggest and most dangerous dictatorship. If you think the US is funding dictators - beyond having trade with China - share your hard evidence. But it is obvious you’re not seeking a factual conversation, since the rare earth industry is almost entirely owned and controlled by China.

I'd argue, that just like with inventions, software has at least 100 people working on the same thing at the same time, who gets their first is what matters. Google et al would still be the same behemoths with or without H1Bs.

NVMe sits over PCIe. I'd be more inclined to believe they're playing games with their voltage levels to lower power consumption on mobile/embedded (not based on anything but I wouldn't be surprised). Or, if you're then going to an m.2 adapter, something with that.
Unless I’m missing something, all of those are consumer electronic devices under 100W and are now obliged to be power-able by USB-C in the EU
